Anyone know of a good butcher in Atlanta?

My poor husband-- he always wants to help but I'm too grumpy and impatient. He knows next to nothing about cooking, so most of the time I get frustrated and just tell him to have a seat. I need to ...

I've been on a pinot grigio kick lately. My favorite budget buy so far has been Dellatorri. The bottle is beautiful too so it looks great sitting out on the kitchen counter. I also agr...

Yum, those look delicious! Any ideas as to why they use seltzer water in the batter?

Hmm, I've never eaten honeycomb before. I'm intrigued by this idea...

Wow! I can't believe all of the great ideas. Now I need to go to the store to stock up on goodies to serve w/ my honey. Thanks everyone!

I made snow cream yesterday-- not something I get to do very frequently here in Atlanta. My husband was very delighted with the special treat.

I decided to give up soft drinks for Lent. I'm an admitted Coke Zero addict, so it has been a little tough. I think I will benefit in the long run though, both with my health as well as my wallet! ...

Yum! I put a splash of Worcestershire sauce in just about any dish with red meat.

Mmmmm... Firefly! I love it. The John Daly cocktail was our signature drink for Georgia Tech tailgating last season. That reminds me- I think I still have half a bottle in my freezer.

What a coincidence-- this is actually on my to do list for the weekend. I am planning on using all of my empty clementine boxes to organize the smaller things in the pantry.

nadarine-- I also love the ingredient search feature on allrecipes.com! We're moving in March so I'm trying to use up everything in my pantry and freezer. I've come up with some good recipes using ...

I lucked up last month when I found an Atlas pasta machine at a thrift store for only $5! The box was total 70's complete with orange and yellow graphics and a thick layer of dust, but the pasta ma...

My fridge looks a lot like yours-- a crockpot, dutch oven, and some other pots that are too big for the cabinets in my tiny kitchen. We also keep our reusable grocery bags up there

Thanks mgood! I was trying to find one for a better price. I love that style salt jar.

Actually, I just had squirrel about a month ago at my great-uncle's birthday party. Its not an uncommon meat to cook in my family. My grandparents and their brothers and sisters grew up in a poor, ...

Matt, maybe you could use the gumdrops as garnishes in some fun New Years cocktails.

Great list! Another tip for glass storage containers-- search for vintage glass and/or Pyrex refrigerator dishes at yard sales, thrift shops & eBay. I have amassed quite a collection ...
